Coined by Marianne Hirsch in the 1990s, the term postmemory by now entered various disciplines who search to understand how memory form our identity and how we position, articulate or just make sense of our place in the society and our relations with it. The term postmemory problematizes the concept of memory by bringing attention to the memories that are not exactly personal but that keep on shaping one’s life and one’s  way of seeing the world.

Keynote Address by Dr. Evelyn Tribble

Scholarship of the works of Robert E. Howard often focuses on the author’s original stories printed in pulp magazines. These works helped to form the foundation of the sword and sorcery genre, and established Howard as a masterful fantasist.

The Victorians Institute Journal is still accepting submissions for Volume 52, which will be published later this year. We accept manuscripts between 7k-9k words on any aspect of Victorian and Edwardian literature, art, and culture.
